MZone reader BK sends us this link, creatively titled michigan STILL SUCKS. After viewing the photos on the site, I found myself with a couple questions.

First, good to see the Buckeye state isn't obsessed with all things Michigan as one can tell by the Columbus Airport Walkway sign shown below. Even crazier - if you set off a metal detector, the TSA agents there are instructed to ask, "Do you have any metal objects in your pocket and what have you done to beat Michigan today?"

Also, is there a lack of indoor plumbing in Columbus or Ohio in general? I ask because of these pictures below...

I guess the picture near the Wolverine team bus was to give the police dogs outside the 'Shoe something to sniff when they're unleased on U-M Saturday.

Yost, I know you'll slam me but c'mon. The sign in the Columbus Airport is a joke perpetuated by the rivalry. I continually see these things posted on here and feel like it is some enormous slight to the state of Michigan. I find the sign funny and would if I saw it in a Michigan airport.

Anon, when I flew into Columbus a few months back I recognized the airport sign as a funny joke -- on Columbus. Logan Airport doesn't have "Yankees Suck" signs. You'd have to scour the state of Michigan to find any public reference to the Buckeyes. My colleague and I (also a Michigan grad) spent the next five minutes laughing at your inferiority-complex dumbassery.

sirnuke, I do believe that the photo you linked too is photoshopped as well. I think the REALLY REAL FO' REAL original is from a soccer match in europe (probably from the EPL). The kid is wearing a Kappa jersey (they make soccer jerseys).

Actually, Anon 4:55, you are correct. The original for that famous little kid with the chicken on his hand was from Ajax, one of the top Soccer Teams in Europe (Holland). I've seen that kid dressed as an Ohio State fan, a Penn State fan, A Pittsburgh Steelers fan, A WVU fan, and just about every soccer team in England. If that kid gets royalties, he richer than Bill Gates.

I am married to a Buckeye, and work with Buckeyes, and it still amazes me how focused all of Ohio is on Michigan.

It's like the girl that dumped you in High School and you just can never get over it.

I know that tOSU only has 1 real rivalry, and the state of Ohio has only 1 major university.where as Michigan has ND and MSU as rivals as well, plus add MSU as a major U in the state, and it's just a little different.

On the "Michiganstillsucks" website -

As John Kerry said "if you don't get a good education you end up in Iraq" - I guess that's why there's so many OSU pictures from Iraq!

No disrespect to anyone in the Military, my heart and prayers goes out to them and their families.

What an embarrassment. How pathetic are Buckeye fans that they have that much energy to focus on Michigan? Doing it this week is one thing but they do this ALL YEAR. Get a life people. And get some class while you're at it!

cute, anon 11:55. what you fail to note is that the actions that took place during the so called stamp scandal were commonplace and completely legal. similar situations had occurred many times before, while NASA knew and turned a blind eye. they are victims of poor timing more than anything else.

hahah looks like you beat me to the post about some of the ohio astronauts

the apollo 15 crew was removed from active duty because they didn't follow procedure. in the past that was a common practice HOWEVER people put that stuff on the manifest - these guys didn't do that and actually hid them in the suit of one of the astronauts.

it's funny how you claim the honorary degree guy in the space.bitches.space rants, but are quick to disassociate with him after you found out that he did something he shouldn't have

i have pissed on the O in the middle of the field in the shoe one night when our band bus (University of Toledo Drumline) spent the night in C-town. The stadium was left completely unlocked (hello?) and no security guards to be found. they probably were drinking with the team.

Nice catch on Carmen Ohio in space. You are certainly on your game today.

BTW, I think we have found something we can agree upon...I love that song. It always makes me smile. It was written in 1902 by a buckeye player (Fred Cornell) on the train ride home from Ann Arbor after his team got beat 86-0. Still the worst loss in tOSU history.

Did you ever feel like you were suddenly transported back to an elementary school playground ???

Kid #1: My [fill in the blank] is better in everything !!!!!Kid #2: Oh yeah, what about the time when [fill in the blank] !!!!!Kid #1: Sure, but we [fill in the blank] and you guys never [fill in the blank]Kid #2: Of course you have to go back into ancient history for that because you guys haven't won since [fill in the blank]
